A look at bridal fashion reveals that spring brides will be more romantic than ever. Get ready for a season of dresses that are light, airy, feminine and truly a breath of fresh spring air! Here are the major bridal trends we spotted on the runways for spring 2006.
Lace: Lace has been popular on the runways for the last few seasons, but this year, the trend shifted from alençon to Chantilly lace — which has a very light and airy feel compared to its heavier cousin. When paired with lighter fabrics like organza and chiffon, Chantilly lace is especially beautiful. It will feel light as air walking down the aisle — great for spring and summer weddings.
Flower Appliqués: Flower details were everywhere this season. Monique Lhuillier used large flowers as finishing details at the waist and a sash around the neck instead of jewelry and attached to the gown at the shoulder. Embellished bodices and hemlines were also truly stunning. Alvina Valenta and Jenny Lee used flowers made in the same fabric as the dress to add a little romance.
